Nanofabrication and Nanomanufacturing
A section of Nanomaterials (ISSN 2079-4991).
Section Information
The tuning of the morphology, size, porosity, organization, crystallinity, and chemical composition of materials at nanoscale, as well as their interfaces (surface charge, chemical function, hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity etc.), is crucial to control their properties and allow their applications in various fields such as electronics, photonics, energy, life sciences, and the environment.
The aim of this section is to focus on nanoprocessing approaches allowing to create novel nanostructures and architecture using innovative synthesis, fabrication, and manufacturing methods enabling the control of their properties as well as their applications.
The scope of this section includes:
- Synthesis, fabrication, and manufacturing of nanostructured and nanoscale materials
- Design of nanoparticles and clusters with control morphology and complex structures (core/shell, alloy, etc.)
- Formation of 1D nanostructures (nanofibers, nanotubes, nanorods, etc.)
- 2D materials and their heterostructures
- Coatings and Thin films
- Hybrid nanostructures (organic/inorganic)
- Nanocomposites
- Self-assembly and organization
- Nanostructured materials such as Zeolies, MOFs, and membranes
